Bruno Fernandes is confident that Ruben Amorim can achieve success at Manchester United, similar to his accomplishments with Sporting Club de Portugal.
As Amorim steps in as the new manager for United, Fernandes reflects on his fellow countryman’s successful track record at Sporting, where he secured two league titles after a long-awaited victory.
Fernandes believes Amorim can change the team’s dynamics, especially with the anticipated implementation of his preferred 3-4-3 formation.
“I hope he creates a similar atmosphere here, as a good leader can transform the energy of a team when the timing is right,” Fernandes shared with United’s official site.
“We are optimistic that this is the right moment for him to share his enthusiasm, expertise, and football insights, especially considering his notable achievements at Sporting. Those who doubt him should look at his past successes,” he continued.
“Sporting ended a 20-year title drought under his management, winning two leagues in four years with a young squad. I hope he can replicate that success here, leading us to a triumphant era.”

Bruno Fernandes’ Role in Ruben Amorim’s Strategy at Manchester United
Speculation surrounds Fernandes’ position in Amorim’s preferred 3-4-3 formation. Will he take on a deeper role in midfield or fit into the forward trio?
Ultimately, this decision lies with Amorim, who is likely to utilize one of Portugal’s top talents, a key player for United in recent years.
Regardless of the specifics, Fernandes appreciates Amorim’s tactical approach, although he acknowledges the challenges of adjusting to a new environment in a different league.
“He is a brilliant tactician who has achieved great results with Sporting, and I’m impressed by his strategies,” he remarked.
“Yet, as we often discuss, it’s not straightforward to replicate what he did at Sporting here, as the dynamics and players differ,” he added.
“I trust that his football philosophy will yield positive results for us. I have witnessed numerous occasions where he supported his players during tough times, consistently defending them in press conferences and helping them excel.”
